“In the end, it’s going to be a team effort and it’s not me here as the only leader of the team. We are in this together and that is the feeling,” he continued.
“Of course, I can guide if I feel like I have experience from the past but in the end, we are in this together. For now, it’s been a nice atmosphere and I’m more than happy to be here.”
Despite his positivity, Bottas did concede the team also had much to work on, having completed the second-lowest mileage total during pre-season testing in Barcelona this week.
